Does the car happen to be in reverse gear at the time, mine does that if the front wipers are on and then I go into reverse.

Welcome to the forum.

 

If by rear washer you mean the rear wiper moves without you using the wiper switch, then it is possibly the wiper motor has a fault so it can not park the wiper. Our 2003 C3 rear wiper would do this or when being used would not always stop. It was fixed when the wiper motor was replaced with one from a scrap yard. You could also check the wiring where it goes between the body and tailgate, just in case it is damaged.

 

If it is the wash water that is coming on but only from the rear and not the front, then it could be a switch or wiring fault.
